Profile:

Playing his only Tests on tours of India and Pakistan, where conditions were less than helpful for a bowler of his style, Bob CottamÕs steady fast-medium bowling took over 1000 first class wickets for Hampshire and Northamptonshire in English domestic cricket. Intially he relied more on his height and speed for his wickets, but became more effective when he reduced his pace and developed an accurate cutter. Not a strong batsman, his 9-25 for Hampshire v Lancashire in 1965 is still the best bowling for that county (Dave Liverman, 1998).
